Several members of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity at the University of Central Florida, along with that chapter at large, have been sued

How does she have a case against anyone except her ex-boyfriend?

Edit: Sadly she may not have a case at all. Florida's revenge porn law only covers the sharing of private videos that both contain personally identifiable information and with the intention to cause emotional distress. Sharing videos of your ex as wank material is fine as far as Florida law is concerned.

This 'bro' culture is disgusting. Not one of them had the integrity to speak up about the morality of the whole thing, not to mention the huge lack of respect to that woman. I can't understand the need for people to join in this type of culture.

That pretty much describes every fraternity I've had the displeasure to be around. It's no surprise that Avenatti is in on this: Trump sycophants and frat boys are equally loathsome.

Aww, looks like poor widdo you didn't get invited to any parties in college. I'm sorry for your loss.

Actually, I got invited to a zillion of them. That's how I came to dislike frat boys. And by the way, when it comes to partying, they're amateurs.

Yeah, that they seem to presume that just because they're a frat that any party they have is the pinnacle of parties is one of the many many problems with frat bros (and this case certainly illuminates some of the other problems).

I'm not sure she has much of case, but I'm thinking they may be in violation of copyright.

Not a bad thought, but the creator of the content usually owns the copyright. If he did it, even with her permission, and especially if he did it with his own equipment, then he owns the copyright and thus has the "right" (from a copyright perspective) to share it.

The same reason people send each other nude photos. The benefits are relatively immediate while the consequences come much, much later.

I, for one, shudder that the thought of seeing naked photos of myself; not sure what my wife sees in me, but she's happy, and so am I.

I have no need to "record our love".

I try not to judge, what other people find sexy may differ from my ideas and that's perfectly OK with me.

I am however surprised that people continue to trust their partners and their technology with something so private. This kind of exposure is not exactly a new phenomenon, we really should have wizened up to the fact that if the pictures exist, they will eventually become a liability.

Did you have a stroke in the middle of that post? Should we call for help?

There’s two levels of consent here. It doesn’t matter if they consented to recording it. You need consent to SHARE it. If you can’t get the latter then don’t share it. That’s the principle of revenge porn laws. There’s no point arguing “bUt sHe sAiD iT wAs oKaY tO rEcOrD iT”.

Certainly a principle underlying not being a total turd.

My understanding is that actual law on it can be a bit spotty in some jurisdictions.

What is the phrasing on the law? Because this doesn't sound like actual "revenge porn" (ie, posting photos publically to shame the other party). Just douchebags sharing their "conquests" for self gratification.

Not that I should have to say this, but I am no way excusing this awful behavior. The whole frat sounds like a complete waste of space. Just curious about the legalities here.
